I will send foreigners to winnow[a] Babylon,
    and they will take everything from the city.
Armies will surround the city,
    and there will be terrible destruction.
The Babylonian soldiers will not get to use their bows and arrows.
    They will not even put on their armor.
Don’t feel sorry for the soldiers of Babylon.
    Destroy her army completely!
Babylon’s soldiers will be killed in the land of the Chaldeans.
    They will be badly wounded in the streets of Babylon.”
